Schedule By Phone

The Circuit Judges of the Twelfth Judicial District are using a phone-in system to assist in keeping you informed of your schedule as a juror in Sebastian County.

Fort Smith Jurors Call: 479-783-1104
Greenwood Jurors call: 479-996-2146

You are to call after 5:30 p.m., the evening before you are scheduled to report for jury duty. If you are scheduled to report on a Monday, call after 5:30 p.m. on Sunday. At that time you will be instructed on whether you should report for jury duty as scheduled, or whether you should report on another date.

You should call only the night before you are scheduled to report for jury duty. Groups of jurors will be scheduled to report on different days. The instructions apply only to the jurors scheduled to report the following day. Many cases are settled before the trial date. Because of this, you must call the night before each day you are scheduled to report. By utilizing this system, you will not have to report unnecessarily.

When you are serving as a juror in a case in progress, do not call the phone-in system. You should report to Court at the times the Presiding Judge instructs, until the case is completed.

You will be assigned to one of four groups. When calling the phone-in system the evening before you are scheduled to report, listen only to the instructions for YOUR GROUP.

Other Information

Fort Smith Courthouse Parking:
You will be sent a packet of information that will contain a 3x5 colored card. This colored card should be placed inside your car on the front dash, in a visible area, when reporting for jury duty. It will allow you to park at a meter without receiving a parking citation. On your first reporting day, there will be a brief orientation covering your services as a Fort Smith juror. You may wish to come a little early that day as parking is difficult. If you are parked at a meter, please place the colored 3x5 card in a visible area on the dash.
